I am glad you back also. I appreciate your concern for the article. I believe that the Korean expedition or invasion is signifigant enough to put in the article. You mentioned that it was a minor incident. I believe it was a war. Why do you believe the incident is minor? I understand getting reliable sources. However, the person I souces used references. { Cmguy777 ( talk) 02:56, 30 March 2010 (UTC)}
You mentioned that Grant had no role in the Comstock Act, but it became law through his signature. How is that non involvment?

Schroeder-Lein and Richard Zuczek claims Johnson was racist and unwilling to extend aid to African Americans. Johnson was quoted saying concerning Frederick Douglas "I know that d----d Douglas, he's just like any nigger, and he would sooner cut a white man's throat as not." Louis Trefousse said that Johnson's "defense of slavery and white supremacy" remained constant. Even Eric L. McKitrick says that George W. Morgan, a white supremacist, claimed Johnson was a "godsend". I did not say Johnson was a white supremacist, but had sympathies. Johnson opposed almost every legislation by the Radical Republicans to help blacks. Also Johnson had no sympathy for the blacks in the Memphis and New Orleans riots. One text book even claims that Johnson, when it came to race, was a thorough going White Supremacist. I respect your edits. Maybe it would be good to call Johnson a "conservative" when it came to race. { Cmguy777 ( talk) 06:04, 7 April 2010 (UTC)}
Why is Edmund Burke referred to as British?

Hi, I appreciate your input into the SDA article, however it makes little sense to say that SDAs have in common with "common" Christian theology. There is no such thing as "common" Christian theology -- Christian theology is extremely diverse, from Catholic, to Orthodox, to liberal protestant, to evangelical, to pentecostal. SDAism is closest to evangelicalism, as has been acknowledged by many scholars. Tonicthebrown ( talk) 12:00, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

"Lebensraum" and "Konzentrationslager" ("concentration camp") were coined in the 1900-1910 era regarding German policies in its colony of South-West Africa. During the first decade of the 20th century imperial Germany colonized the land and committed genocide, leading to the deaths of 60%-80% of the local Herero and Nama peoples.
Later Nazi use of "Lebensraum" and "Konzentrationslager" suggests an important question: did Wilhelmine colonization and genocide in Namibia influence Nazi plans to conquer and settle Eastern Europe, enslave and murder millions of Slavs, and exterminate Gypsies and Jews? The German experience in Namibia was a crucial precursor to Nazi colonialism and genocide and that personal connections, literature, and public debates served as conduits for communicating colonialist and genocidal ideas and methods from the colony to Germany

Can I please get your input on this matter - kkk is it just me or is there a lot of POV pushing on this page ? For example - The first Klan was founded in 1865 by Tennessee veterans of the Confederate Army. Klan groups spread throughout the South. The Klan's purpose was to restore white supremacy in the aftermath of the American Civil War. The Klan resisted Reconstruction by assaulting, murdering and intimidating freedmen and white progressives within the Republican Party. In 1870 and 1871 the federal government passed the Force Acts, which were used to prosecute Klan crimes. Prosecution of Klan crimes and enforcement of the Force Acts suppressed Klan activity. In 1874 and later, however, newly organized and openly active paramilitary organizations such as the White League and the Red Shirts started a fresh round of violence aimed at suppressing Republican voting and running Republicans out of office. These contributed to white conservative Democrats regaining political power in the Southern states in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Not one Citation for this whole paragraph - Are there suppose to be citations ? I also noticed you listed a PHD in history !

Rjensen,
You really need to come to grips with how the release of the Venona decrypted material has removed doubt about the identities of those inside and outside the U.S. federal government who were actively engaged in spying for the Soviet Union or working to further Communist interests to the detriment of the United States. Are you related to Harry Hopkins? How do you explain your fanaticism in controlling all Wiki information regarding Hopkins' relationship with the Soviet Union during WWII? You do not have a monopoly on presenting material about Hopkins. If you continue to delete my sourced addition to the Hopkins Wiki page, this will end up in the Wiki dispute resolution. Ffolkes —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ffolkes ( talk • contribs) 21:27, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
Odd that you reject Iskhak Akhmerov's account of Harry Hopkins exploits as a Soviet agent because Akhmerov is/was a Communist, but you accept the word of KGB Lt.-General Vitaly Pavlov that Hopkins was not an NKVD/GRU agent, when Pavlov is/was also a Communist.
It was Harry Hopkins' "job" to help the Soviets obtain uranium? That is what he attempted to achieve as head of Lend Lease. But are you actually saying that it was Hopkins job to pass along top secret information on The Manhattan Project to Moscow? If FDR wanted the Soviets involved in the American atomic bomb project, why did he purposely exclude them from the project even after they joined the Allies? While Hopkins may not have operated in the fashion of Soviet spies Fuchs and Hall, who passed on atomic secrets to the Soviets, Hopkins value to the Soviets was his influence with FDR and his own authority as head of Lend Lease. Hopkins was more than simpatico with the Soviets agenda in the U.S. and their post war goals in Europe. As a highly placed government official, Hopkins put a foreign country's interests ahead of his own. That is how Hopkins "spying" was manifested.-- Ffolkes ( talk) 17:53, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
Why would intercepted communications between U.S. Soviet spies and Moscow say "Hopkins put a foreign country's interests ahead of his own?" That doesn't make sense. Where did you get the notion that Hopkins didn't know the "details" of The Manhattan Project? Did he know as much about it as General Leslie Groves? No. Did he know as much about it as FDR? Yes. As far as the uranium story, in 1949 the State Department acknowledged that in 1943 export licenses had been granted to the Soviet Union for shipment of 1,500 Ibs. of uranium compounds.-- Ffolkes ( talk) 17:53, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

I am a right/conservative-libertarian, and the GOP is most definitely not libertarian. I'm not arguing there are none (Ron Paul is one of the few true Libertarian Republicans), but they do not form a significant faction in the GOP. First off, they support 'social conservatism', which is government-enforced morality. That is not libertarian. Second, they support an interventionist foreign policy; libertarians support a non-interventionalist one. Third, dislike of government is not the same as libertarianism; conservatives gripe about big government, but most want to keep things as they are. The GOP certainly has libertarian influences, but is not truly a libertarian party. TN 05 —Preceding undated comment added 01:26, 7 June 2010 (UTC).
Hi, do you know why there is an East Africa Protectorate article and a British East Africa article? Seems to me they should be combined into one, unless I'm missing something?

Hi! On the article History of Sweden (1945–1989) article, you have repeatedly written that Christer Petterson was acquitted "because of evidence issues" or "because of questions of evidence". Could you clarify what this means? Remember that an acquittal always means that there has not been enough evidence to convict the defendant, so saying that someone was acquitted due to insufficient evidence is actually redundant. I get the impression that you are trying to say that Petterson is somehow actually guilty and got off on technicalities. If this is the case, it should be documented by relevant citations, for example expert commentaries on the verdict. Otherwise, this may give the impression of original research or an attempt to smear Pettersson. Theis101 ( talk) 11:37, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
Why did you edit out my version about the drop in tariff levels and the reaction of 1937-38 ? The whole argument of blaming Smoot-Hawley for deepening the Great Depression is directly contradicted by these HISTORICAL FACTS. For you to IGNORE the other "non-tariff stuff" that attempts to link the rates to economic activity in a negative manner and to remove contradictiry evidence is ABSOLUTELY BIASED AND INCONSISTANT. PERIOD. I showed that when the tariff rate dropped ( a fact that you deemed "non-tariff" ???? ) there was NO CORRELATION BETWEEN TARIFF LEVELS AND ECONOMMIC ACTIVITY. I can quote Nobel prize-winning economist Milton Friedman ( The Great Contraction ) that stated it was the Feds' contraction of the money supply that had such devastating effects on economic activity. I might add that Mr. Friedman hated tariffs with a vengence. Any time you care to discuss or refute my evidence feel free to contact me.

Hello Rjensen. I appreciate your recent edits on the Presidency of Ulysses S. Grant. I understand about Crédit Mobilier not being a Grant Scandal, however, it has been listed as a Grant scandal in the past. I do not believe it is a Grant Scandal, only in the sense that his two VP's were involved with the Congressional bribery. The Emma Silver mine had to do with Schenck, a Grant appointment. However, if this is the case then the Grant scandals are only 10, rather then 12. Or would you consider Schenck giving his name to the Emmas Silver mine and Colfax/Wilson's acceptance of Crédit Mobilier stocks minor scandals? If this is the case on the Presidencial Scandals of USG article should I delete the above two scandals. Or in the Presidency of USG page should I put there were 10 major scandals?

I found a source, Allen C. Guelzo, that states Lincoln was for compensation emancipation with the vote of the people. The source I used claimed that Lincoln proposed constitutional amendments. I am not sure why it said that. However, I believe that someplace in the Article it should be known what Lincoln had desired for the slaves. Lincoln seems to have gone the Thomas Jefferson route of emancipation and deportation. Catton says that Lincoln was a Radical who used a moderate approach. Lincoln's reconstruction agenda, however, appears to be very moderate. Do you believe that someplace the Lincoln compensation, emancipation, and deportation approved by vote should be mentioned in the article? Cmguy777 ( talk) 04:54, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi, Rjensen. I would appreciate it if you read my reasoning for including what you call "useless details" in Leopold's bio. As I state on the talk page, I'm slowly but surely rewriting the article, and a comprehensive article does require some background. I don't want to edit war with you, so I would appreciate it if you would reinstate my edits. The major biographies I have at my disposal make a point of including quite a bit of detail about Leopold's background and upbringing, so it's obviously of note.

Dear R,
While the book by Pippin, Robert B. Hollywood Westerns and American Myth: The Importance of Howard Hawks and John Ford for Political Philosophy, should be directly added to the articles of Hawks, Ford, and (if there was one) Hollywood Westerns, it should added as an inline citation to articles like Red River and The Searchers, and not just added in general. Since the entire book is not about that topic directly, it should be cited with pages instead.

RJ,
On another note: Wasn't one of the key figures in Crédit Mobilier of America scandal that of James "Big Jim" Fisk, Jr.? He got caught, together with the UP's Durant, in the Tammany Hall scandal, in which they were supposed to be on the "same side." But then Fisk (after getting caught there) turned around and filed a lawsuit (Fisk v. Union Pacific) which, wasn't it one of the major factors that brought about the public's notice in Crédit Mobilier of America? But, Fisk receives no mention in either the Tammany article, or more especially the Crédit Mobilier of America scandal article.

Schroeder-Lein and Richard Zuczek claims Johnson was racist and unwilling to extend aid to African Americans. Johnson was quoted saying concerning Frederick Douglas "I know that d----d Douglas, he's just like any nigger, and he would sooner cut a white man's throat as not." Louis Trefousse said that Johnson's "defense of slavery and white supremacy" remained constant. Even Eric L. McKitrick says that George W. Morgan, a white supremacist, claimed Johnson was a "godsend". I did not say Johnson was a white supremacist, but had sympathies. Johnson opposed almost every legislation by the Radical Republicans to help blacks. Also Johnson had no sympathy for the blacks in the Memphis and New Orleans riots. One text book even claims that Johnson, when it came to race, was a thorough going White Supremacist. I respect your edits. Maybe it would be good to call Johnson a "conservative" when it came to race. { Cmguy777 ( talk) 06:04, 7 April 2010 (UTC)}

Hi, I appreciate your input into the SDA article, however it makes little sense to say that SDAs have in common with "common" Christian theology.

"Lebensraum" and "Konzentrationslager" ("concentration camp") were coined in the 1900-1910 era regarding German policies in its colony of South-West Africa. During the first decade of the 20th century imperial Germany colonized the land and committed genocide, leading to the deaths of 60%-80% of the local Herero and Nama peoples.
Later Nazi use of "Lebensraum" and "Konzentrationslager" suggests an important question: did Wilhelmine colonization and genocide in Namibia influence Nazi plans to conquer and settle Eastern Europe, enslave and murder millions of Slavs, and exterminate Gypsies and Jews? The German experience in Namibia was a crucial precursor to Nazi colonialism and genocide and that personal connections, literature, and public debates served as conduits for communicating colonialist and genocidal ideas and methods from the colony to Germany

Can I please get your input on this matter - kkk is it just me or is there a lot of POV pushing on this page ? For example - The first Klan was founded in 1865 by Tennessee veterans of the Confederate Army. Klan groups spread throughout the South. The Klan's purpose was to restore white supremacy in the aftermath of the American Civil War. The Klan resisted Reconstruction by assaulting, murdering and intimidating freedmen and white progressives within the Republican Party. In 1870 and 1871 the federal government passed the Force Acts, which were used to prosecute Klan crimes. Prosecution of Klan crimes and enforcement of the Force Acts suppressed Klan activity. In 1874 and later, however, newly organized and openly active paramilitary organizations such as the White League and the Red Shirts started a fresh round of violence aimed at suppressing Republican voting and running Republicans out of office. These contributed to white conservative Democrats regaining political power in the Southern states in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Rjensen,
You really need to come to grips with how the release of the Venona decrypted material has removed doubt about the identities of those inside and outside the U.S. federal government who were actively engaged in spying for the Soviet Union or working to further Communist interests to the detriment of the United States. Are you related to Harry Hopkins? How do you explain your fanaticism in controlling all Wiki information regarding Hopkins' relationship with the Soviet Union during WWII? You do not have a monopoly on presenting material about Hopkins. If you continue to delete my sourced addition to the Hopkins Wiki page, this will end up in the Wiki dispute resolution. Ffolkes —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ffolkes ( talk • contribs) 21:27, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
Odd that you reject Iskhak Akhmerov's account of Harry Hopkins exploits as a Soviet agent because Akhmerov is/was a Communist, but you accept the word of KGB Lt.-General Vitaly Pavlov that Hopkins was not an NKVD/GRU agent, when Pavlov is/was also a Communist.
It was Harry Hopkins' "job" to help the Soviets obtain uranium? That is what he attempted to achieve as head of Lend Lease. But are you actually saying that it was Hopkins job to pass along top secret information on The Manhattan Project to Moscow? If FDR wanted the Soviets involved in the American atomic bomb project, why did he purposely exclude them from the project even after they joined the Allies? While Hopkins may not have operated in the fashion of Soviet spies Fuchs and Hall, who passed on atomic secrets to the Soviets, Hopkins value to the Soviets was his influence with FDR and his own authority as head of Lend Lease. Hopkins was more than simpatico with the Soviets agenda in the U.S. and their post war goals in Europe. As a highly placed government official, Hopkins put a foreign country's interests ahead of his own. That is how Hopkins "spying" was manifested.-- Ffolkes ( talk) 17:53, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
Why would intercepted communications between U.S. Soviet spies and Moscow say "Hopkins put a foreign country's interests ahead of his own?" That doesn't make sense. Where did you get the notion that Hopkins didn't know the "details" of The Manhattan Project? Did he know as much about it as General Leslie Groves? No. Did he know as much about it as FDR? Yes. As far as the uranium story, in 1949 the State Department acknowledged that in 1943 export licenses had been granted to the Soviet Union for shipment of 1,500 Ibs. of uranium compounds.-- Ffolkes ( talk) 17:53, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

I am a right/conservative-libertarian, and the GOP is most definitely not libertarian. I'm not arguing there are none (Ron Paul is one of the few true Libertarian Republicans), but they do not form a significant faction in the GOP. First off, they support 'social conservatism', which is government-enforced morality. That is not libertarian. Second, they support an interventionist foreign policy; libertarians support a non-interventionalist one. Third, dislike of government is not the same as libertarianism; conservatives gripe about big government, but most want to keep things as they are. The GOP certainly has libertarian influences, but is not truly a libertarian party. TN 05 —Preceding undated comment added 01:26, 7 June 2010 (UTC).

Hi! On the article History of Sweden (1945–1989) article, you have repeatedly written that Christer Petterson was acquitted "because of evidence issues" or "because of questions of evidence". Could you clarify what this means? Remember that an acquittal always means that there has not been enough evidence to convict the defendant, so saying that someone was acquitted due to insufficient evidence is actually redundant. I get the impression that you are trying to say that Petterson is somehow actually guilty and got off on technicalities. If this is the case, it should be documented by relevant citations, for example expert commentaries on the verdict. Otherwise, this may give the impression of original research or an attempt to smear Pettersson. Theis101 ( talk) 11:37, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
Why did you edit out my version about the drop in tariff levels and the reaction of 1937-38 ? The whole argument of blaming Smoot-Hawley for deepening the Great Depression is directly contradicted by these HISTORICAL FACTS. For you to IGNORE the other "non-tariff stuff" that attempts to link the rates to economic activity in a negative manner and to remove contradictiry evidence is ABSOLUTELY BIASED AND INCONSISTANT. PERIOD. I showed that when the tariff rate dropped ( a fact that you deemed "non-tariff" ???? ) there was NO CORRELATION BETWEEN TARIFF LEVELS AND ECONOMMIC ACTIVITY. I can quote Nobel prize-winning economist Milton Friedman ( The Great Contraction ) that stated it was the Feds' contraction of the money supply that had such devastating effects on economic activity. I might add that Mr. Friedman hated tariffs with a vengence. Any time you care to discuss or refute my evidence feel free to contact me.

Hello Rjensen. I appreciate your recent edits on the Presidency of Ulysses S. Grant. I understand about Crédit Mobilier not being a Grant Scandal, however, it has been listed as a Grant scandal in the past. I do not believe it is a Grant Scandal, only in the sense that his two VP's were involved with the Congressional bribery. The Emma Silver mine had to do with Schenck, a Grant appointment. However, if this is the case then the Grant scandals are only 10, rather then 12. Or would you consider Schenck giving his name to the Emmas Silver mine and Colfax/Wilson's acceptance of Crédit Mobilier stocks minor scandals? If this is the case on the Presidencial Scandals of USG article should I delete the above two scandals. Or in the Presidency of USG page should I put there were 10 major scandals?

I found a source, Allen C. Guelzo, that states Lincoln was for compensation emancipation with the vote of the people. The source I used claimed that Lincoln proposed constitutional amendments. I am not sure why it said that. However, I believe that someplace in the Article it should be known what Lincoln had desired for the slaves. Lincoln seems to have gone the Thomas Jefferson route of emancipation and deportation. Catton says that Lincoln was a Radical who used a moderate approach. Lincoln's reconstruction agenda, however, appears to be very moderate.

Hi, Rjensen. I would appreciate it if you read my reasoning for including what you call "useless details" in Leopold's bio.

The major biographies I have at my disposal make a point of including quite a bit of detail about Leopold's background and upbringing, so it's obviously of note.

Dear R,
While the book by Pippin, Robert B. Hollywood Westerns and American Myth: The Importance of Howard Hawks and John Ford for Political Philosophy, should be directly added to the articles of Hawks, Ford, and (if there was one) Hollywood Westerns, it should added as an inline citation to articles like Red River and The Searchers, and not just added in general. Since the entire book is not about that topic directly, it should be cited with pages instead.

On another note: Wasn't one of the key figures in Crédit Mobilier of America scandal that of James "Big Jim" Fisk, Jr.? He got caught, together with the UP's Durant, in the Tammany Hall scandal, in which they were supposed to be on the "same side." But then Fisk (after getting caught there) turned around and filed a lawsuit (Fisk v. Union Pacific) which, wasn't it one of the major factors that brought about the public's notice in Crédit Mobilier of America? But, Fisk receives no mention in either the Tammany article, or more especially the Crédit Mobilier of America scandal article.
